01.14.12 Bighorn Loop Trail

This was an easy, but faster than our normal pace, 4 mile hike leaving from the Bighorn Loop Trailhead at the end of the Rancho Mirage, CA upper parking lot on the corner of Hwy 111 and Frank Sinatra. There were 14 hikers on the 7:45am hike. We met at 7:30am to carpool, began hiking at 7:50am and were back to our parked cars where we met by 9:45am. We didn't stop for a break. (I mention the timing so when I write-up how long we'll be gone for future hikes.) Views from this hike afford us a good 360 view of our local area.
